Search Engine Optimization (SEO) means deployment of certain ethical techniques, processes and methods with the objective of moving a website to be displayed among the top ranking results when specific phrases or keywords are searched using popular search engines.
Only the usage of professional SEO services provided by firms specializing in the SEO business will ensure a top notch ranking for your website among the results of the search displayed.
Such of those firms that offer professional SEO services always use white hat or ethical techniques for your website optimization in order to boost the ranking of your website when searched by popular search engines. Such SEO firms shy away from black hat or unethical techniques that are not acceptable to search engines; by adopting such techniques you run a high risk of having your website blacklisted by the search engines.
Let’s take a look at some ethical techniques used by a firm offering professional SEO services.
1. Domain aspect: These include using domain names which are short and easy to remember, inclusion of short keywords without hyphens, use of .com or .net extensions for international markets, hosting location based on targeted business market / country, URL names including appropriate keywords that are unique to each page in the site.
2. Technical aspect: These include the inclusion of the robots.txt file that restricts robots or crawlers from accessing your site, keeping the navigation structure simple, inclusion of good, unique meta tags for every page relevant to the contents of that page, ensuring confirmation of the site’s W3C standards.
3. Other aspect: Providing the site with a good privacy policy, SEO copywriting of the site’s contents, providing good keyword visibility within a page’s contents.
4. Support service related aspects: Providing and ensuring support services including generating periodic SEO reports (say, every month) that detail the SEO progress, website rank tracking and index tracking, periodical checking on website ranking, rendering the site to popular, well known internet search engines and relevant manifold directory listings, originating blogs and making relevant postings therein, rendering the website to classifieds, writing and submitting relevant articles, generating RSS feeds and submitting them to appropriate directories, writing press releases and submitting them to appropriate agencies.
In order to increase your knowledge on SEO and to help you distinguish between good and bad SEO services, let’s also take a look at the unethical or black hat techniques that are shunned by firms offering professional SEO services. You must take care to ensure that your site doesn’t, intentionally or unintentionally, use these unethical techniques.
SEO firms deploying unethical (black hat) techniques deploy several methods and processes like article spinning, link farms, optimizing keywords with no relevance to your website, keyword stuffing, establishing links with sites that are either malicious or have bad precedence, creating doorway or gateway pages and hidden texts.
SEO firms with no repute or morale engage in these black hat (unethical) SEO techniques with the objective of swindling money from unsuspecting customers and offer much discounted prices that customers find unable to resist. The relevance of the search results by well known search engines will likely be mislead by these black hat techniques and, to prevent that, the algorithms followed by the search engines will identify and ban your site in due course.
